Guest Reviews

• Sebastian (7/5): Good stay for a weekend away. - Location was good - far enough away from town to be quiet but close enough that if you forgot something or commuted in it was only a small drive. Didn't realise how small the shower was. very very small for anyone who is tall or large.
• Tracy (9/5): - Beds very comfortable, everything supplied that you could need. Shampoo and conditioner lovely Nothing

• Sylvia (10/5): Great place to stay - lovely and cosy - great decor and a welcoming feeling - This adorable container is utterly adorable!
• Chanel (10/5): Perfect for a few nights - Beautiful surroundings, property well kept and the bed was comfortable Out of town a bit but we knew that
• John (10/5): - Fantastic location, well equipped, and Fiona is incredibly hospitable
• Nicky (10/5): -
• Phil (9/5): Superb place to stay, would stay again and have already recommended to friends. Great location. - Very easy and comfortable stay at short notice at a place that is very well kitted out. Just a bit tight around the bed but this is not a complaint at all as the bed was big and super comfy.
• Daniel (8/5): Wicked little spot, easy stay -
• Mark Barrett-Hamilton (9/5): -
• Dianne (9/5): Great place to relax, short drive to local attractions - Semi rural. Sheep at back fence 😊 No close neighbours. Beautiful garden and lovely to have use of the deck and bbq Very clean and well supplied.
• Yusuke (9/5): -
• Alouise (10/5): -
• Kim (8/5): Relaxing and comfortable place to stay - Very peaceful location l Coffee machine didn’t appear to be working properly
• fiona (10/5): - Lovely stay. Responsive and accommodating hosts
• Albert & Katie (10/5): We loved our stay at the Adorable little container house! - Communication with the host was timely, easy and friendly - Fiona accepted our request for an early check in so that we could get ready for an event beginning on the afternoon we arrived. The house had everything you'd need for a private, comfortable and convenient stay. The beds and pillows were super comfortable. Everything was clean, tidy and uncluttered. There was plenty of parking right next to the house. The large deck was perfect for a lazy afternoon/evening in the sun. An added bonus was the beautiful landscaping which attracted the native birds. Highly rated our stay at the adorable little container house! A+ experience. As per the hosts description, the shower is VERY small. The other comforts of our stay outweighed this minor inconvenience.
• Julian (9/5): -
• Mear (10/5): Beautiful getaway spot - The location was amazing, not too far from town but felt like you were far away in peace. The host/owner was lovely. Definitely recommend the stay. If you're a larger person, the shower will not be suitable however the pressure was amazing.
• Sheree (8/5): - Location,very comfortable cozy Shower was a bit small
• Schroder (9/5): Made a great base for our explorations of Napier, Hastings and Havelock North. - Had everything we needed. Loved the shower- great water pressure and heaps of hot water. Nothing

• Kelvin (10/5): Lovely little place & would stay again... - Beautiful beds & linen ... best nights sleep!!! Wonderful hosts who were very helpful & accomodating...
• Sofianna (10/5): Delightful container home, warm, cosy, quiet and comfortable :) - Best property we've stayed at in a while. Sure, the bedrooms are small, but we knew that going in, it is a container home after all. Not much room for suitcases/the hang clothes but perfect for a short stay. The beds were exceptionally comfy (I have a creaky middle aged back and usually rental beds are an issue for me). I slept like a log with no aches and pains in the morning. Thank you!!!! Very clever layout to the place which maximises the available space. Bathroom quite narrow but again this was to be expected.. Shower itself was good. Comfy sofa. TV etc and a good location for the event we were attending. Great host, very helpful in the run up to check in (which was super easy), but didn't intrude once we were there. We will definitely be back! Honestly, it was great. Maybe better signposted from the main road? Our cab shot past and the turn off was hard to find in dark. But other than that, can't fault the place
• Sommai (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nicholls (10/5): Exceptional -
• Bill (10/5): Wish it could have been longer! - The property owner was very helpful with providing information about the property including the location. The layout was surprisingly spacious, modern, clean comfortable and functional. The shower enclosure was a bit small for me, I'm a big guy.
• Shirley (6/5): well worth visiting - quite private, beautifully presented, peaceful, beds are so tall I had to climb up into it and had no chance of walking around. Welcome book giving WiFi password etc well presented but black folder left on black mat under a black TV. I dont watch TV so didn't notice it until leaving. Bit draughty and couldn't work out how to lock ranchslider. Shower super small
• Gary (10/5): Exceptional -
• Peter (10/5): Perfect little house - Location and value for money. Nice private location close to where we had a function.
• Athol (8/5): Very good - Plenty of parking space. Quiet location. Easy distance to city. Comfortable. Private. Not a lot of space around the bed.
• Kathy (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jerry's (9/5): Superb - Great amenities Smallish shower cubicle generally very nice amenities
• Dave (8/5): Very good - Lovely couple who owned the place. They were very welcoming and I am sure would have helped me if I had needed anything. Generally, the place was clean and felt pleasant to stay in. The only thing was that there was no hob, and so I have to rethink the meal I had planned. The bed was a little soft for me but others might like that.
• Belinda (10/5): Fabulous. We woll return 😊 - Its a very comfortable little place. Everything you need. Peacefully located to sheep in a meadow. Very friendly accomodating host. Beds / linen very comfortable
• Peter (10/5): Exceptional -
• Liz (8/5): Happerly recommend - Everything was so lovely and clean indoors and outdoors. There was no internet- we couldn’t get a connection.
• Reece (9/5): Perfect place for a night’s stay while attending a work event. - Quality furnishings/linen and well stocked with kitchen and bathroom items. Perfect size for solo traveller. Much nicer and comfortable than a motel room.
• Barbara (8/5): Very good - outdoor area
• Jason (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tia (10/5): All in all it was great for what we needed, 1 night for two friends. We each took a bedroom each and the beds are plush - Super comfortable beds. Secluded quiet location. More than suitable for two friends travelling and staying for one night. The heat pump (aircon) was much appreciated. The windows all had mesh covers which meant they could be opened without fear of bugs - ace. Really interesting unit made up of shipping containers. Great friendly hosts with very good communications before the booking. The shower is very small and a 6ft person would struggle to shower comfortably. We were two friends travelling together and each took a bedroom and the beds are plush and comfortable, however the rooms are small, so if there were two adults staying in each bedroom along with luggage etc. it could be tight. The property would be difficult to find in the dark if you arrive at night for the first time. The instructions provided were great, but the Lane that the house is down does not appear on Waze navigation so we had to resort to google satellite images to figure it out. Found it eventually!
• Lily (10/5): Comfortable and clean - The tiny home was quite spacious and very well thought out. Everything you could need was provided, the host was lovely, and the space was very clean and stylish.
• Jacquie (10/5): Exceptional - We loved this property and, although it’s small, the carefully considered design and all the thoughtful touches make for a really comfortable and relaxing stay. Everything is of a high quality and the beds, and bedding, are terrific. Owners are lovely and on hand if you need anything. The location is a little out of town, but that means it’s so quiet and tranquil. We sat out on the deck in the evening listening to and watching the fantails and other birds right next to us in the trees, which was magical. A truly exceptional place. Nothing
• Marc (8/5): peaceful - Super nice and will go back again fresh air
• Chance (10/5): Peaceful | Refreashing | Clean+Tidy - It was the small things like extra toothpaste, shower cap I forgot those things so that was awesome. The bed was so comfy and the place was tidy

• Marian (10/5): Great place to stay - I am not a very tall person and had a real problem getting into the bed. Once I got there it was ok very comfortable, but it was to high. The rest of it was wonderful just wish we had stayed and sat outside instead of going out for dinner it was such a beautiful setting. We will book again in the near future Just the bed was so high.

• Bernadette (9/5): Lovely place to stay, beautiful surroundings, peaceful - Not applicable. A little tricky to get round the beds but you don’t have to do that many times!
• Judy (10/5): Exceptional - A very cosy, comfortable country cottage. The location was close to Hastings, but truly rural. Will definitely stay here on my next visit to Hastings. Finding the laneway entrance from the main road in the dark.
